[Verse 1: Limsa d’Aulnay]
In this part, the singer is sharing how he reflects on life even during ordinary moments, like being stuck in traffic. He thinks about health, everyday concerns, and bigger questions about the world. He knows people from different sides of life, from thugs and violent people to kind elders who have wisdom and experience. Life on the streets feels heavy and dark, and he remembers how kids, without planning it, got pulled into gangs instead of enjoying simpler childhood things like comics. He points out the unfairness of society, noting that some people have privileges just because of their skin color, while others face much harsher realities. He also comments on politics, feeling ignored by those in power even when people protest laws that affect them. Despite that, he finds some joy in rap music bringing people together, but he emphasizes that rap isn’t just about speed or showing off words—it’s about expression and connection. Visiting old friends brings nostalgia but also honesty; he realizes that the passage of time and changes in people would make some friendships impossible today. There’s a mix of reflection, criticism, and awareness of both personal and social challenges, showing how life has shaped his thoughts and relationships. It’s a snapshot of growing up, facing inequality, and trying to make sense of where he fits in while staying connected to his roots.

[Verse 2: ISHA]
Here, the singer reflects on not wanting to stay trapped in a dangerous environment or die young in the streets. He feels a quiet sadness when he sees beautiful things like sunsets, reminding him of lost innocence. He remembers being happy and simple children, but life pushed them toward crime and violence, handling drügs and weapons. Even after trying to escape these situations many times, the past and its experiences left a mark, making their hearts feel heavy and dark. There’s a warning about behavior—acting recklessly has real consequences in this world. He describes young people trying to grow and learn on their own, without guidance, comparing them to Jedi who don’t have a mentor. There’s also criticism of people who pretend to be tough but live unremarkable or lazy lives at home. He notices the contrast between struggles at home and the ambition of others who are moving forward. Finally, he observes people leaving for better opportunities, traveling at night and arriving in the morning, symbolizing hope, change, and the journey to a new life. This verse mixes nostalgia, warning, and reflection on choices and survival in a harsh environment.
